Our Resources
1
From Clean Out To Closing
Unfortunately, many estate properties suffer from deferred maintenance, either because the late homeowner was ill or simply could not maintain it properly for other reasons. You can alleviate the anxiety of repairing and/or maintaining the probate property by leaving the details to us and our team of carefully vetted and reliable home professionals to bring the property up to a marketable condition in order to be sold in a competitive market.

Facilitate The Sale of Personal Possessions
Over the course of a lifetime, people accumulate a wide variety of possessions. Disposing of these possessions in a dignified and efficient manner is often an obstacle in bringing the estate to a final settlement. If that is the case, we can help coordinate a successful estate sale or refer you to reliable appraisers and other professionals who will sell the belongings for top dollar. You also have the option of donating any unclaimed assets and possessions to charity, and we maintain strong relationships with numerous charities that would welcome these donations.

If You Are The Attorney
Typically the attorney of record has one of two roles. They are either appointed by the probate court or selected by the family or executor / personal advisor. In either case, we will at all times keep you well-informed about any aspect of the process in which we are involved – especially when it comes to fielding offers on the real estate. In some cases, the family or executor / personal advisor will want ALL aspects of the probate to be handled completely by the attorney. In these cases, we’ll work with you as “the client” regarding the real estate, just as we would with the executor / personal advisor. We have focused our efforts on working in this unique area of Real Estate because we feel it allows us to not only perform a much-needed service to people in times of great stress but also because it is a place where we can differentiate our level of expertise from others who are not as focused in this niche. We’ve taken the time to and made the investment to properly prepare to assist you.
